Of course a real python solution involving an existing implementation should be a few lines of python that call into the existing implementation...
Anyways, if I were in your situation, I would explain that I expected that my python development costs would be about 5x my J development costs, and they would be 10x if I had had to develop the python version from scratch without first doing the J implementation. If they agree to pay those costs, I'd go out and hire myself a good python programmer to help me out with that part of the implementation. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
